Recommendations to Improve
Adult Vaccination Coverage in Latin America

This is a project being carried out by the Americas Health Foundation (AHF) as a component of its "Vaccines For All" platform. For this project, AHF project planned, organized and implemented a summit meeting of Latin American medical societies directly involved in both vaccines and adult care. In particular, the Summit brought together representatives of 15-20 regional and national medical societies primarily focused on pediatrics, infectious disease and immunology. The objective of the Summit was to produce an official consensus on Guidelines for Adult Vaccination in Latin America, collectively developed and endorsed by these major Latin American medical societies. The produced Guidelines can then be used as the basis for future education and awareness campaigns developed for both the public and medical professionals, as well as a tool for guiding health policy pertaining to adult vaccination in the Region. The article, Recommendations for Improving Adult Vaccination in Latin America, was published in the December 2015 edition of the Revista Panamericana de Infectología.  To read the complete article, Click here.
